FAQs

What material is the plug and chain made of?

The plug and chain are made of Gold Plated Brass, matching the luxurious finish of the waste.

How does the retainer overflow work?

The retainer overflow has a small lip or mechanism that catches the plug's chain, holding the plug securely in the waste opening and preventing it from falling in.

Is this waste suitable for a freestanding bath?

This waste is designed for standard built-in baths. Compatibility with freestanding baths depends on the specific plumbing setup and access to the bath trap and overflow.

Can I use this with a pop-up waste system?

No, this is a traditional plug and chain waste with a retainer overflow and is not compatible with pop-up waste mechanisms.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information provided with your purchase for specific details on the warranty period and coverage.

How do I clean the Antique Gold finish to keep it looking new?

Gently wipe the finish with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild, non-abrasive soap and rinse thoroughly. Always dry the surface afterward to prevent water spots.

Troubleshooting

Waste is leaking

Ensure all seals are correctly seated and tightened. Check that the bath trap connection is secure. Reapply plumber's putty or PTFE tape if necessary.

Plug does not seal properly

Inspect the plug and the waste outlet for any debris or damage. Ensure the chain is not hindering the plug's seating. Clean the plug and seating area.

Retainer overflow is loose

Tighten the screws securing the retainer overflow cover. Ensure there is no debris trapped between the overflow plate and the bath surface.

Finish is tarnishing or discolored

Use only a soft cloth and mild soap for cleaning. Avoid all abrasive cleaners and polishing compounds. Ensure water is dried off after use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant Antique Gold finish adds a touch of luxury.
  • Integrated retainer overflow prevents the plug from slipping.
  • Durable gold-plated brass construction ensures longevity.
  • Classic plug and chain design appeals to traditional styles.
  • Designed for straightforward installation in most standard baths.

Cons

  • Manual plug operation may be less convenient than pop-up wastes.
  • The gold plated finish may require specific cleaning to maintain its lustre.
  • Antique style may not suit modern bathroom designs.
  • Requires a compatible bath trap for installation.
  • Chain length might be a consideration for very deep baths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation typically involves connecting the waste to a standard bath trap. Ensure the rubber seals are correctly positioned to create a watertight connection. The plug and chain assembly should be attached according to the provided instructions. It is recommended to have a professional plumber for installation to ensure optimal performance and prevent leaks.

Compatibility: This waste is designed to fit standard UK and European bathtubs with a typical 40mm (1.5 inch) waste outlet and a standard overflow hole. Ensure your existing bath trap is compatible with this type of retainer waste.

Care: To maintain the lustrous Antique Gold finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plating. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap and rinse thoroughly. Periodically check the plug and chain for wear and tear.
